Citruses are typically winter fruits, but in many climates, grapefruits tend to be more of an early spring product.

Apricots are a late spring fruit, so there is a long anticipated wait while getting ready for their season! Apricot crumble is the perfect way to round off a nice day, as the days begin to warm up but the evenings stay cool.
